History Repeating Itself.

Going back into history we find that
in the olden times, Greece, Rome, and
all Of the former great nations. had a
season of prosperity when labor was
well paid, we'll educated and all were
prosperous and happy. The splendid
ruins. sculpture, paint ngs, the songs and
poetry, all bear TESTIMONY to this But
there came time when the wealth OF
these great nations began to and did
pas, into tie hands Of the few. Then
came oppression and the people Of these
countries began to ask the questions the
Knights Of Labor are asking TODAY.
/ "Whv is it we toll to make sandals for
others. while our own feet and those of
our loved ones are often naked and cold ?
"Whv Is it we build beautiful palaces,
which which we never occupy, while
our dwellings are miserable novels, and
afford us so little protection from the
heats Of summer and the cold blasts Of
winter?
"Why is 1t that we weave the purple
and fine linen to clothe those who do no
work, while our own forms and those
Of them dearest to US in life are shiver.
ing il rags?"
In these utterances the mobiles and rich
saw their downfall and system of OPP
preston was brought to bear on the la
boring men. Their meetings we're pro.
hibited end then not being able to meet
and exchange views, they gradually ret
rocraded into serfdom and the nobility

struggle meant the poorest sxIstsncs,
the poorest food. the homliest raiment
and the meanest shelter. The masses
struggling out Of this condition con-
stantly demanded more and bstter
things Now. II assumes still higher
form: :-ths demand for more leisure Il
the highest form ever attained. The
demand for shorter hours forty years
ago was demand for physical rest 1t
is now demand for mental and moral
activity, and for more wealth. This de-
mand Is voiced. to day, bv upwards Of .
million wage workers In oil the voca
iIons and occupations fife. II Is ex.
pressed In English. In German and In
French. II asks ofgovernments govern
mental interference In higher and
holier spirit than that which prompted
combined capitalists TO ask for govern,
mental interference in, their behalf. It
has not yet asked for subsidies, vet it's
right to ask for protective tariff upon
cheap labor. and that the credit Of the
government should be given In the In
augurasion Of vast cooperative enter
pnses. When this demand comes, the
struggle of,he masses for h better life
will be met by Its oppenen,s with the
ery OF "agrarianism," and II would have
the same justification tina. has granted
benefits to other classes.
When the founders and fathers Of our
institutions provided the free education
and the ballot, they opened the wav for
the demand that should give that ballot
and that education a selfsustaing power.
The struggle Of the wage worker Is to-
ward cooperation. and the struggle will
continue until the cooperative com

Last weeks PRESS struck the bulls eye
whom it printed that part Of the Rose Hill
Items" that referred to the valuation OF
the real estate Of town 1905. The fact Is
that the farms Of this township are assess
ed BY the commissioners at the uniform
figure Of $4SO.O0. Allow us to present
these facts first, the range Of Washington
Hills crossing the township make great
difference in the value Of farms. Second
Register Keeler owns two or three OF the
very finest farms Of the township. We are
informed that, upon the recommendation OF
the register and OK -oficio clerk. the com.
missionsrs set aside the valuation placed
upon the land by legally elected assessor,
one who is an actual citizen and practical
farmer, and arbitrarily fixed valuation OF
their own. We say this. The clerk OF
thelboard of commissioners has to much
influence over the board, or the board has
not enough influence ovei the clerk. Mr..
Keeler would come much nearer filling the
measure Of man. if he would fulfill his
election promises, instead Of using his Of
hcial position 10 lower his own taxes.
Shame on such d man. DISRAELL

Of the above charges, we feel safe in re-
marking that the Register will not concerr
